The CIT Programme at Sugar Bay normally<br />
runs for two consecutive weeks and<br />
takes place duringmost school holidays.<br />
During the first week, the “CITs” spend most of their time as<br />
campers, observing how activities are run and taking part in<br />
the programme sessions. They may be asked to assist with the<br />
setting up of evening programmes and are encouraged to mix<br />
with all age groups of campers. During the second week, the<br />
CITs partake in various lectures and join certain activities to<br />
assist the counsellors. They may also be asked to help set up<br />
and run evening programmes. On the final evening, the CITs<br />
are awarded their certificates at the final campfire.<br />
